COVID-19 UPDATE 13NOV2020

The Society has now released some puzzles for home use based on existing FunMaths Roadshow puzzles. The Roadshow remains on sale and purchasers are welcome to adapt problems for online or home use. We are planning to release a selection of puzzles online with guidance for how they may be used in teaching.
The Christmas lecture will consist #of#two#30 minute#talks#by#Colin#Wright#and##Yolanda#Ohene# on 11 December. Two lectures are planned for the early part of 2021, namely the Presidential lectures of Anna Pratoussevitch and Gaynor Bahan; these may well be held online.
Open Challenge will be as normal and the Pop Maths Quiz will take place in some form, so we should have a full programme of activities in 2020/21.
The LivMS Bursary Fund (charity no. 1156909) remains open for business. The next deadline is 31 January 2021 (urgent applications will be considered on a first come first served basis). The Bursary Fund has been fully funded by the Society since its inception but this funding is currently in doubt, so donations to the Fund would be gratefully received. If you would like to donate, please email newstead@liv.ac.uk for details.
